On the positive side -It does a very good job washing. It works like most top loaders and sloshes the clothes around in the soapy water, activating the surfactants in the detergent to remove dirt. You can see the dirty water coming out in the drain. If you have never seen that before, it will surprise you.It is bigger than I thought. I put in the water first – about 2/3 to 3/4 and added the soap and the Calgon. I am in a place with unfiltered hard well water so I have to buy good detergent and the water softener like Calgon or washing soda. You don’t need that if you have city water or soft water.I then did a load with 3 tank tops, 2 t-shirts, 1 pair shorts, 5 days of underwear and bras (all adult large clothing).After that I tried a load with 3 pairs of sweat pants and 3 t-shirts (all adult small). I might leave out one T-shirt next time, but it was pretty good.I set the wash for 6 minutes, let it soak for a couple minutes, and then set it for 6 more minutes to handle really dirty stuff. It worked very well and the wash water was really dirty.I then filled with cold, did a 3-minute run for rinse, and drained out that water. The soap washed away and the water did not seem dirty.The drain is gravity fed, so I put the unit outside my shower and ran the drain hose over the lip. It did not drain completely out each time, because of the bump to get over the lip of the shower. At the end of each drain, I just lifted the unit up for a few seconds, using the side handles and it drained right out. Long term, I might get a board to put under it to raise it up over the lip.The next part was the part that surprised me. I left the cold water running into the tank and rinsed each piece under it, then squeezed it out and put it in the spinner. You can only do 1 pants and 1 shirt at a time in the spinner, so you have 2-3 spins per wash load. The spinner actually did a very good job spinning the clothes to not be drippy wet, and I only ran it for 2 minutes each time. As a test, I took the whole load and I put it into one of the big Nina Soft Spin dryers to see how much more I could get out. I got almost a cup of water (7oz) out of the full load of 3 pants and 3 shirts after running it for about 6 minutes. So, yes, the big spinner does get more out, but the little spinner was still pretty impressive. All the notes about balancing it are true, so I will not rehash those. Do it right, and it works right.A lot of people complain about the hose. It is flimsy and short and I never used it. I have one of those old little green spiral water hoses (not the fabric ones, the hard plastic spiral hoses) that fit right in the slot. It was already cut in the middle due to a hole in it. I put one end on my faucet aerator adapter I got at the hardware store, and pressed the other end (just the cut end of the green hose with no fitting) into the water inlet slot. It worked perfectly, with the exception that I lost the use of the bathroom faucet while doing laundry. You can always just use a pitcher or a bucket to put in the water, but plan to spend a few dollars to make something that works for you.The negative-My only complaint is that I did not pay attention to the size of it. I saw the videos and people saying they used it in their campers and such. They must have big campers. I thought I would put it on my kitchen counter and there is no way it fits there. The dimensions given on some sites were incorrect, and others were correct. I just had not pictured in my head very well what 25″ tall and 25″ wide look like. That is my mistake, not a problem of the product.

Ok the facts first, got this little machine 5 days ago and love it. Description was great, got what I was expecting. Have done numerous loads of all types and have a pretty good idea of the dos and don’ts. First thing, this is a mini washer, don’t expect to come home and do 2 full loads of laundry. I am a single male, and this machine will wash about 90 per cent of my laundry. Don’t expect to get your comforter, really large heavy towels, thick blankets and similar items in it. A pair of jeans and t shirt is a load. 3 t shirts 3 pair of socks, and several under wear makes a load. Does not sound like much but there is good news. The wash timer goes up to 15 minutes, most of the things I wash come out clean with a 3 to 6 minute wash. Next, you don’t need to buy bargain detergent again, go for the good stuff. If you wash clothes that aren’t filthy dirty about a tablespoon of detergent is all you will need, remember this is a mini. Saw a video of a couple doing a video of there first load, when they added the detergent they added a full measure and then added a little more. It took them forever to get the suds rinsed out, they couldn’t believe it was so difficult to do a load of laundry. Next the spin dryer, it is smaller than washer. Also it is Not a dryer. However you will be pleasantly surprised by how dry things come out. The spinner really does a great job. Yesterday tried a really light weight fleece throw, washer handled it fine, but when wash and rinse were done it was really heavy. I was concerned about about how much it weighed, so I let it hang in tub for about 10 minutes to drain off some of the water. Put it in the spin dryer for 2 minutes and took it out and was nearly dry. I just laid it out on comforter on bed and in checked about half hour later and it was dry. About were to put your washer. I live in a small apartment with a small bath. It fits between tub and toilet. you need three things to use this electric, water to wash and rinse, and a way to drain. This is not automatic you have to work a little, finding a good location cuts down on the time you spend. Since mine is next to tub I use my hand held shower to fill, you could also use a small bucket. There is a water inlet with a supplied hose which is pretty much useless. Lastly you need to drain, it drains by gravity so you will not be able leave it on the floor. I still haven’t got mine completely worked out yet, can drain about half in to tub and have to finish in a plastic dish pan on floor. This little machine is pretty powerful and needs to be on a sturdy stable base. Also if loaded properly it is very quite, be careful on spin side if its loaded off balance it will shake really bad. Even if you load it correctly for a few seconds when it starts it’s best to hold on to machine. There is also a plastic disc in the spinner, before putting clothes in take it out and put on top of clothes and press down. Hope this helps out, just don’t overload.

The media could not be loaded. This product was really easy to use and maintain. When my washer broke and I had to wait several weeks for it to be repaired, this machine was a lifesaver. One time before when my washer broke, I was hand, washing everything and ringing it out so this was, so worth it. if I was single, or if I had a baby, this thing would get used all the time. I still plan on using this washer for delicates or things that I need to soak because it works really well. The only negative thing that I could say about it is that it occasionally has water that spurts out if you get a little too much water in there because it’s so powerful when it spins but definitely would not consider that a dealbreaker. I would buy this item again and I absolutely love it. It worked great for what I needed and I will continue to use it even though I don’t really need it because it’s so cool.

First off, the motor in this is got some power in it! If you expect this is like doing laundry at the laundromat, your in for a wake up call. I’m 60, single, fashion designer. This is purely a trial y error thing! No guides, no nothing. It’s Uber small, I use the bucket filled with water y soap to hand wash y rinse all my delicates, then empty it y let it spin my garments. Jeans, 1 pair at a time, my designer t shirts y underwear… I wash in a mesh bag (like what’s used for bras), due to the powerful motor the agitation it fought but effective on getting the dirt outta your clothes. It’s truly like back in your college dorm days when living was not so glam. If your impatient, want instant gratification… This ain’t for you. It’s a spin dry NOT a heat dry so take into consideration hang drying your clothes as well. Myself, it serves my purpose and is worth the money in my opinion. If you can live with this, I recommend it! Heavy y bulky items like blankets, jackets or anything structured has to be washed in commercial grade washer y dryer.
